The elder brother is unable to swallow the bitterness of his
sister's death. The primal instinct of anger overwhelms him. He is
all set to shatter the whole family of the younger brother's
ladylove. Ajith faces the wonderful challenge posed by his big
brother, succeeds in preventing his onslaughts and achieves the
final victory over him. This is the knot of 'Deena's' story. New
Director Murugadass is equal to the task undertaken by him. He has
earned a fair success in his mission, for sure.
Ajith had talked at length that, it is the climax, which is the
backbone for a film. But, to out dismay, he has been placed in a
climax scene that is nothing short of a melodrama that would fit a
stage play. We sit amused as we see the fighting scenes in which
Pandavas are pitted against Kauravas.
Ajith and Suresh Gopi are not blood brothers but they brotherly
close to each other. Their family consists of Ajith's mother and
sister. Ajith is in love with Laila. Ajith's sister has fallen for
Laila's elder brother. Ajith's sister ventures to get married
secretly as she is afraid of the wrath of Suresh Gopi. But as
ill-luck would have it, she meets with an accident and dies
unfortunately. Suresh Gopi becomes wild and tries to wreak
vengeance on the family of Laila. Ajith intervenes him. The
brothers confront each other. Finally, truth comes to light for
Suresh Gopi. Knowing the sterling qualities of his younger brother
Ajith, Suresh Gopi undergoes change of heart.
In the first half of the picture, we are entertained to the comedy
dished out by the henchmen of Ajith. We are able to enjoy the love
that prevails between Ajith and Laila, inch by inch. But it is a
matter of wonder that those henchmen do not launch their attack on
Laila's family. Will the time-servers remain that good?
Ajith has gained weight both in his physique as well as
performance. He is very jolly when he meets Laila in hotel. During
the scenes of fight, he is simply ferocious. He emotes anger in
his gaze. Then he becomes a mellowed lad for the sake of love. He
has been gifted with a multi-faceted character. His is a
creditable performance. A fine feat of histrionics indeed! He has
worked wonders!
It is a good beginning for Suresh Gopi, in Tamil filmdom. He is
majestic in the way he carries him about - in his appearance,
gait, gaze and resonant voice. Laila is pretty like barby doll. At
the start of the film she is laughing at the drop of a hat, as if
she has gone out of her head. But as the film grows, she
disciplines herself gradually, to score the required marks.
Divya Shree , Shriman and Vaiyapuri have done their bits very
well. Yuvan, Shankar Raja has not created any miracle in his
music. 'Vaththikkuchchi' and 'Sollamal' are the two songs that
enter our mind. Hariharan has to be lauded for his courage in
rendering the full-throated song, 'Sollamale'. The high pitch may
have disturbed his larynx to a considerable extent. Cinematography
and edit have come handy for the good of the film.
The climax has been shot in an urgency and turned out to be the
minus point of the movie. Haste makes waste.
Deena - It is Ajith's resurgence.

- Ajith
acts competently as a spirited youth surcharged with a
variety of emotions.
Suresh Gopi is a seasoned actor. He enacts his role in
a clear-cut, restrained fashion.
- The
dialogues are very comic and hit nails on the
foreheads.
- In
the hotel scene, Laila tells that she is fond of a
fight. Encouraged by this, Ajith gathers momentum to
measure his strength with that of his opponents.

- The
boring songs disturb the temp of the film. We hear
them often to our chagrin.
- It is
a failed climax.
